Norton vs Norman Anti Virus

Hello...
Since I can't install both Norton System Works and Norman Anti Virus.. I have to pick one. Which one should I choose? Which one is better?
Thanks for the info..

Anything made by Symantec(Norton) is bloated, but the Antivirus alone is better than all the crap that comes with system works.

I have heard that the Norman AV is quite unstable, and may sneak around in a wig deleting attractive files.

Norton=bad.

If you can get a hold of Symantec Corporate Antivirus use it instead. All the protection of Norton without the bloat.

Antivirus is included within System Works....

as a rule of thumb, don't isntall system works unless you have 512MB or more of RAM.

Also, if it's the 2006 version, note that it covers spyware too, so you may want to rid your machine of any additional spyware scanners to free up some clocks.

Also, for all the naysayers, the 06 norton stuff is leaps and bounds better then the 05.....
